Our Own Rush Limbaugh?

If there was a competition for vilest columnist in the country, Michael Laws would win it in a canter.

In Laws-ville anyone who doesn't share his view is a moron. This week Laws Godwins himself by calling John Key a fascist.
Key, secretly, thinks parents should be banned from lightly disciplining their children. Key is, we now discover, actually one the state's nannies. A petty fascist.

Laws' racist blatherings against Maori are also becoming tedious. There's no doubt why he thinks he should have the right to smack - he clearly believes family violence is a brown problem.

People like Laws are too lazy to consider the real causes of family violence: social dislocation, poverty, poor education, and drug and alcohol dependency. It just happens that those things are more prevalent among the Maori community. The reasons why are complex and historical.

There is nothing inherently "wrong" with Maori. The fact Laws believes it is a problem of race exposes him as a mean racist.

  2. Pinky - no, accuracy is not something I'd ever accuse Laws of.

    If you want to know what I hate about him it is this: he is a racist, offensive buffoon.

  4. No, actually I think anonymous racist dickheads are the real problem.

I welcome comments, but I ask commenters to follow a few simple rules:

1. I delete anonymous comments. Please use either a name or moniker. I am not asking anyone to reveal their secret identity. Just don't call yourself "Anonymous".
2. Please don't abuse or defame others.
3. Moronic or nonsensical comments may be deleted.
4. I don't often exercise the heavy hand of censorship, but I do reserve the right to delete any comment I don't like, for any reason.
